Last week IBM held SpreeCast with a number of journalists, an analyst and one of our clients GHY International who shared their experience of IBM Power Systems.GHY International, has 110-employees and is a provider of Canadian and U.S. customs brokerage services and international trade solutions: IBM Power Systems help reduce IT management, which in turn lets CIO Nigel Fortlage and GHY focus on the business.

The call was hosted by Doug Brown, vice president of marketing for Power Systems and Smarter Computing.

Jim Kelly, analyst with Wikibon gave this analysis of this weeks updates to siliconAngle tv.

“It does require a lot of expertise, and it costs money and time and
effort. IBM realized that here’s an opportunity for SMBs that haven’t
been able to get involved in big data…to allow them to deploy big data
and start using it, at least in a modified fashion, at a price point
that is feasible for small businesses."

As we mentioned last week Ambuj Goyal, GM, Development & Manufacturing gave his keynote at a meeting of IT analysts and influencers at Pennyhill Park Hotel in England.
